Carmin Ballou leads ALAS’s data analytics and innovation efforts at ALAS. She is also currently helping lead our efforts to use artificial intelligence to improve company operations.
Through her leadership, her team develops innovative products and tools to enhance members’ loss prevention efforts and help them understand and manage their professional liability risks. Most recently, Carmin helped lead the implementation of the new web portal for member firms. Additional web-based products launched under her direction include ALAS DataView, ALAS Edge, and ALAS Coverage Explorer. She also monitors the legal technology space for risks posed to ALAS member firms as well as areas that certain products may benefit these firms.
Carmin received her MS in Data Analytics in 2021, which, combined with her prior litigation experience and knowledge of ALAS membership, allows her to develop products that benefit ALAS member firms. One of Carmin’s first major projects at ALAS was the implementation of Passport, ALAS’s claim and matter management software, which supports the collection of key data points about legal malpractice matters.
Carmin first joined ALAS in 2014 as Claim Administrator, which gave her firsthand experience with the data needs of ALAS member firms. Prior to joining ALAS, Carmin was a litigation associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for seven years, specializing in financial and accounting litigation.
When not at work, you are likely to find Carmin obsessively planning her next trip—which will preferably involve some travel via train.
